Test Example 1

True leaf of cucumber is punched out with cork borer to 13 mm in diameter to prepare a leaf disk. In 24 well microwell plate that is dispensed with 1 ml 0.8% water agar, the leaf disk is placed such that the upper side of the leaf is in an upward direction. Thereto is added 20 micro liter a testing solution prepared by mixing a dimethyl sulfoxide solution of the present compound (racemate) and a dimethyl sulfoxide solution of iminoctadine trialbesilate to a predetermined concentration to treat the leaf disk.

After confirming that the testing medical solution is dried, conidium of gray mold fungus (Botrytis cinerea) is suspended into potato dextrose broth (DIFCO) in a density of about 10⁵ conidium/mL and is then subjected to a spray inoculation. After leaving to stand the leaf disk in a growth chamber set up at 15° C. for four days, an onset area on the leaf is measured and then calculated an onset area rate (hereinafter, referred to as an onset area rate of treated group).

The same operation is carried out with 20 micro liter water instead of 20 micro liter a testing medicine solution to calculate an onset area rate (hereinafter, referred to an onset area rate of non-treated group).

A preventive value is calculated from the above onset area rate of treated group and the onset area rate of non-treated group by the following equation:

Preventive value (%)=100×(A−B)/A

wherein

A: an onset area rate of treated group

B: an onset area rate of non-treated group
